Skid Row. false false 284949 0 0 Programming during the fiscal year continued to creatively serve our low-income Skid Row community. In October we held our 13th annual 2-day Festival for All Skid Row Artists in Gladys Park Skid Row. In January we published and distributed free to community members 2,000 tabloid newspapers featuring 150 artists who participated in October's Festival. In Los Angeles Poverty Department's Skid Row theater workshops 60 workshops over 8 months Skid Row community members created Resilience,a performance focused on individuals' innate abilities for self-realization and fulfillment to heal themselves. Resilience taps into the innate health in everyone by exploring activities that we like to do. Resilience was performed 6 times twice at our space at an arts festival a conference of non-profit housing developers and at The Midnight Mission and the Downtown Women's Center with total attendance of 1,200. The Resilience performances connected thematically to our gallery exhibition January through August Cosmology & Community designed with our community curator Charles Porter and muralist Joshua Grace. This was one of 4 exhibitions we created during FY-22-3. The others included Blue Book Green Paper and How to House 7,000 people in Skid Row both exhibitions ran through December 2022. In mid-September opened our next exhibition Enough is never enough: Hard Truths and the People that Live Them documenting people living on the streets of Skid Row and in the San Fernando Valley by photographer David Blumenkranz and his students. Throughout the year we continued our bi-weekly film series and initiated a monthly open mic evening. We also hosted events organized by individual Skid Row artists and Skid Row community groups including a Juneteenth celebration organized by community DJ Sir Oliver. During spring and summer we continued our research and began designing our exhibitions that will be realized in the current FY--- that focuses on medical personnel who staffed the LA County Quarantine Sites for homeless people with Covid for an upcoming exhibition. Throughout FY 22-23 working with other Skid Row arts organizations we created and distributed quarterly Art Zine that included arts activities and highlighted artists and arts groups in Skid Row. Printing of 2,500 copies per-issue of the 32-page magazine was provided by the City of Los Angeles. Throughout FY22-23 our archivists worked with 10 volunteers to continue to put our archival holdings in Central Management System while also acquiring new materials generated through our activities and donated from other Skid Row community members and groups. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 284949 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 14 0 true 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false 6 6 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA X John Malpede 2134131077 1226 N Alvarado Street Suite 5 Los Angeles CA 90026 Catherine Gudis President 13.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Aram Moshayedi Vice President 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Zelenne Cardenas Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julia Carnahan Secretary 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laurance Lavin Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Malpede Founding Artistic Director 40.00 0.00 X 67850 0 0 67850 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 0 0 189134 285514 0 474648 theatrical performances 711110 1000 0 0 0 workshops & honoraria 711110 5650 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6650 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1525 0 0 0 1525 0 1525 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 482823 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 67850 40710 13570 13570 0 0 0 0 155804 118367 18717 18720 0 0 0 0 8628 6137 1246 1246 18292 13009 2641 2641 22295 21768 527 0 0 0 0 0 1936 0 1936 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4099 4099 0 0 8744 4300 2919 1525 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 49440 47162 1139 1139 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4695 1617 2505 573 Program Expenses 26230 26230 0 0 Dues & Subscriptions 2747 1550 647 549 Taxes, Licenses & Fees 1089 0 1089 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 371849 284949 46936 39963 0 0 0 0 227118 267524 0 10000 0 0 0 62500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1932 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2300 2300 231350 342324 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 231350 279824 0 62500 231350 342324 231350 342324 110974 0 0 0 0 0 X false false false X 232231 337167 306638 293231 474648 1643915 24970 11050 30520 19900 6650 93090 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 257201 348217 337158 313131 481298 1737005 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1737005 11 149 192 0 0 352 14920 8756 6500 5500 1525 37201 14931 8905 6692 5500 1525 37553 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 272132 357122 343850 318631 482823 1774558 0.9788 0.9768 0.0212 0.0232 X Part III - Line 12 | Year:, Amount:, Description:| 2018, , | 2019, | 2020, | 2021, | 2022, | RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part VI, Line 2 John Malpede - Artistic Director and Henriette Browers - Associate Director are married to each other.
